In the heart of Niagara, where vines weave tales of tradition, a groundbreaking proposal emerges—a visionary roadmap crafted by Michael Stangl. Dispelling myths surrounding organic practices, Stangl introduces a calculated, inspiring 5-year transition that challenges the status quo, embracing both tradition and innovation.
Myth-Busting Organic Practices:
The term “organic” often raises concerns about yield outcomes and restrictive certifications. Stangl’s proposal crushes these myths, advocating for a practical and gradual approach to regenerative viticulture.
Starting Small, Dreaming Big:
No need to dive into the unknown at 100%. Stangl suggests commencing the journey with a modest 1-acre plot—a canvas for innovation. A playbook is the key, a meticulously crafted calendar and schedule that align with familiar practices. This isn’t a leap; it’s a thoughtful, strategic step.
Yearly Expansion, Continuous Refinement:
The journey unfolds with careful precision. Each year, the 1-acre plot serves as a proving ground, a testing bed for regenerative protocols. As success compounds, an additional acre is added in the second year, creating a tandem of innovation and replication. The playbook evolves, fine-tuned with each season’s lessons.
Validation Through Time:
By the third year, the initial plot enters a mature phase, a testament to regenerative success. Another plot follows the second-year trajectory, with constant refinement. The fifth year marks a pivotal point—a 1-acre plot, now five years into the journey, becomes a showcase of regenerative prowess.
Scaling Up, Realizing Savings:
Armed with insights from small-scale successes, the journey extends to larger acreages. The findings are monumental: reduced inputs, savings on pesticides, minimized passes in the field, and potentially redirecting saved funds into areas requiring investment.
A Playbook That Revolutionizes:
This revolutionary 5-year transition isn’t a gamble; it’s a calculated, documented playbook designed to reshape the viticultural landscape. Drawing inspiration from successful endeavors in California, Australia, and beyond, Stangl’s proposal is tailored to the nuances of the Niagara region.
Michael Stangl’s DNA-Tested Johnson Su Compost:
At the core of this proposal is Stangl’s revolutionary Johnson Su compost, meticulously DNA tested for maximum insight. This compost, rich with diverse microbial life, serves as the lifeblood of the regenerative journey.
From Tradition to Transformation:
Stangl’s proposal isn’t just a departure from conventional practices; it’s a profound transformation. It aligns tradition with innovation, honoring the heritage of viticulture while embracing the regenerative principles that promise a sustainable future.
